Invasive technologists are part of a team in a cardiac catheterization laboratory, with a working knowledge of ECG interpretation, coronary anatomy, physiology and disease mechanisms, and cardiovascular pharmacology. Choose an accredited certificate or degree program. Several schools offer programs for a certificate of cardiovascular technology or associate's or bachelor's of health science degrees. These programs are administered through classroom instruction, practical laboratory application and clinical work.
Planting trees by the thousands. If you have maple trees around your house, you are familiar with the seeds that helicopter down from the trees filling your rain gutters and generally making a mess. The next time you are complaining about these nasty little irritations, take time to look at one carefully.
The pinyon pines and a number of others, notably Turkish pine and gray pine, are particularly well adapted to growth in hot, dry semi-desert climates. The seeds are commonly eaten by birds, such as grouse, crossbills, jays, nuthatches, siskins, woodpeckers, and by squirrels. Some birds, notably the spotted nutcracker, Clark's nutcracker and Pinyon jay, are of importance in distributing pine seeds to new areas. Pine needles are sometimes eaten by some Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) species (see list of Lepidoptera that feed on pines), the Symphytan species pine sawfly, and goats.
